This is a curious example of fudging data. At first it looks
like 4 data points, 1 of which is fudged; but since he's talking
about the time span between wars, it's really 3 data points,
only 1 of which is _not_ fudged.

Only Archie Pu can provide such a complex theory to explain
a single data point. Plus two extra values he gets to choose
to match the theory!

Also, he forgot when the Irish invaded Canada in 1866.

I am absolutely not making that up. The invasion force started
in Buffalo, NY, and was the first act of the IRB, later to
evolve kinda into the IRA. America didn't intervene at first,
probably because they considered the whole thing intensely silly.
